We are very conscious of what we eat especially at home. We are undercover whole wheat and grains folks....SURPRISE!

I cook as much as I can from scratch which includes...breakfast, lunch & dinners. WE ARE NOT ALL ORGANIC folks.
We do try to eat more simply. We eat some organics and avoid foods that have ingredients I cannot pronounce or sound like
something I would use to kill rats! We are really big on the food pyramid, raw foods, whole grains, game meats, farm eggs,
garden vegetables, organic or simple (few ingredients) cereals, milk & soy milk. I am not a food fanatic this represents
the rules I generally follow...

So I guess I'll just go through a few products that I love ....

Bragg's amino acid (use it like soy sauce without all the bad stuff!)http://www.bragg.com/products/liquidaminos.html

Water! We are some water drinking freaks! We drink OJ,Milk or water at breakfast and then we drink only water until
dinner time. At dinner we have either water or Crystal light! Wayne is still a big diet soda (remember he's diabetic not on
a diet!) drinker but we are trying to convert him. We want water to cleanse us just as throughout the Bible God uses water
as an image of cleansing (and rebirth).

"but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water
I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."John 4:14

Rice, Beans & Cornbread! My family loves this meal and it costs me less than a $1 to feed the whole lot. Except
for the fact that every time I make it I feel compelled to make dessert we'd make off like bandits!

BULK FOOD(No this is not my cupboard!)Morningside food co-op where I can order healthier foods in large quantities at lower
prices. I only order the following items: whole wheat pastry flour, brown rice, dried beans, oats, whole wheat tortillas,
dried fruit. I rotate what I order so I don't blow my whole months budget!

Sam's ClubI just love this store because
I can buy enormous Honey & Peanut Butter! We use a lot of honey in place of sugar and the kids love PB&H sandwiches.
Plus who doesn't love the snacks they provide for the children while you shop? Be sure to know your prices because sometimes
its not cheaper at Sam's!I keep my eye on prices in the store to see if there is anything else we can take advantage of!We
typically buy: Honey, Peanut butter, Cheese (save $4.07), Pretzels (save $2.26) I love bulk food because it saves me both
time and money!

This is not food but they really rock! These are the best vitamins and the kids love them! Mom & Dad take Supermom
and Superdad vitamins and they have made a big difference in my energy levels! Made by www.beeyoutiful.com (free shipping
orders over $125) or www.morethanalive.com also carries it (free shipping $50+).

What's important when you are determining what your family will eat is your family. What is going to work for you guys
and what won't, how much time do you have? Do you have medical issues? Are you struggling with obesity or anorexia?....Look
for God and see how he is leading you in this matter ....

"He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you
with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every
word that comes from the mouth of the LORD." Deut. 8:3
